Jason Mayhem Miller
From Corolla One studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Carolla Show. Adam's guest today, International Boxing hall of Famer Manny Pacquiao and comedian Jessie Mae Peluso. Plus the news and trending topics with Jason Mayhem Miller. And now, snubbed again for an Emmy, Adam Cole.
Adam Carolla
Roll out. Yeah, get it on. Got under church. You get under your mandate, you get it on now. God love you, folks. Jessie Mae Peluso back. She's feeling good, feeling alive.
Jessie Mae Peluso
That's right.
Adam Carolla
Dying Laughing with Jessie Mae is the name of the podcast. And also live dates coming up. Santa Ana Pueblo. Oh, New Mexico.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yeah. Breaking bad territory.
Adam Carolla
That's such a weird thing because I was just, just. Mayhem's in here too. I was just talking to somebody literally last night and she said, why don't we go to go to New Mexico? And then I said, I've never been. I don't. And then I said, well, there's no comedy club in New Mexico. I've never been to New Mexico. I've never played. I usually travel around, just go where the club is. And I said, I don't think there's a comedy club in New Mexico because I've never been there.
Jessie Mae Peluso
There is one. Quezadas.
Adam Carolla
And there is right here.
Jessie Mae Peluso
That's right.
Adam Carolla
I did not know that. July 18th and 19th.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Comedy and cooking meth. Let's do it, man.
Adam Carolla
Well, now, good. Tell me how it goes over there.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I will.
Adam Carolla
I'm curious how that club is.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I am too.
Adam Carolla
All right. And let's see. I got stuff to complain about. We'll get into Pacquiao a little later we'll do the news as well. Let's see, where do I start? Okay, I was, I had a sad. Well, I had two sad realizations driving in from Malibu. One is Malibu's basically reopened. Essentially. Not everywhere, but essentially. But the Equinox gym is closed and it's been closed for six months. The Taco Bell across the street, however, is open and has been open. Yeah, for many months.
Dawson
Famously, you're not Equinox material.
Adam Carolla
That's all. Yeah, that's all we need to know about the United States. That Taco Bell was closed for two days and is right back up and running. And that Equinox fucking. I waited, I waited and waited for months and months and months for that place to open. It open. It was open for a week. Fire came shut. It's obviously there's nothing wrong with the building. There's nothing wrong with anything because the Taco Bell across the street, literally, literally across the street, like you could walk outside of the Equinox and throw a tennis ball and hit the Taco Bell.
Dawson
It's SoCal's Waffle House metric. How bad? If Taco Bell's open, everything's fine.
Adam Carolla
It's open, it's fine.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Beans and cheese is so delicious. You know, it's not delicious.
Adam Carolla
Working.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Kettlebells.
Adam Carolla
Kettlebells.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Taco Bell's delicious. Not kettlebells.
Adam Carolla
Box squats. Yeah. So that place is closed, but the Taco Bell's open. And then my other sad realization whilst driving through Malibu, because now it is just work. Maybe there's work. There's. There, see, they're having to do everything. It's not rebuilding the houses, they're not doing any of that. It's all. Next time it rains. The landslides are coming. They have to build all this shoring up all along retaining walls and everything all along the hill because it's all going to slide down again. It's work, work, work, work. Non stop work. Trucks, crews, work. That's all this is. Hard hats and vests and what have you. I've said it once, I'll say it again. There's no black person working in all of Malibu. It is 100% Hispanic all the time. There is no such thing as a black person.
Dawson
Well, Malibu was an exclusion zone. Like they're not allowed to be in there, right?
Adam Carolla
Well, we let the Mexicans in, but I literally saw like, I've seen like three or four black homeless people in Malibu, like sleeping on the park or not the park bench, but the bus bench. One guy Was just walking around with his pants around his ankles yesterday. And cops are sort of following him. We have to treat homeless people like toddlers or something. Like they walk around and we just kind of walk behind him going, hello, listen.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Hello, there's someone on fire. Which sometimes they are.
Adam Carolla
I've spotted more black homeless people in Malibu than I've spotted black folk working in Malibu. And there are thousands of people working in Malibu. And all you do is pass waves and waves and trucks and trucks of crews, road crews, guys holding signs, guys working jackham. Everything pretty much 100% Hispanic. Zero black people. It's always been that way. It's always pissed me off. We should be going down to the inner city. We should be teaching trades to these people. There's good money to be made. Like the guys operating the heavy equipment, the crews, the road guys, they're all getting good money, good benefits, good insurance. They didn't get picked up at Home depot. They're getting 60 bucks, 65 bucks an hour, 80 bucks an hour. They're getting insurance, they're getting overtime, they're getting golden time. They're all good. It's a good profession. And there's tons of these guys and there's never a black kid. And we could go to the inner city and we could find these kids and we could give them programs and we could go. Look, you're not. You're not going to Harvard. You're not gonna be a lawyer. But you can learn welding and you can learn pipe fitting, you can learn electrical. I have no idea why we won't do this. We have this weird. I don't know. What do you think, Jessie May? Why do you think we don't do this?
Jessie Mae Peluso
I don't know why we don't, but I think we should not just go to the inner city. Why not go to the suburbs and yank a couple rich trust fund whities?
Adam Carolla
Well, they don't tend to wanna do remedial training as much.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Let's force them. If we had to force people into war, we should force people into hard labor.
Adam Carolla
All right, but what do you think? I mean, no one's going to Beverly Hills and getting redhead.
Jessie Mae Peluso
You're looking for exclusion in construction? Is that what you're saying? You want to see more?
Adam Carolla
No, I want to know. I want to know what you think.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I think that it's probably maybe a location issue. Maybe we need the better transportation. Maybe we need better posters. I'm not sure. I don't.
Dawson
We need better marketing.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yeah.
Dawson
Spot weld up in this bitch, if.
Jessie Mae Peluso
It'S $60 an I wanna set in an application, I was thinking it sound really good, bro.
Adam Carolla
I think I'm throwing my mayhem.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I just wanna put on a vest in direct traffic.
Dawson
I think it's not that cool to be out there, you know what I mean? Slugging ashes. And nobody wants to do that. So, you know, it's one of those things where if hard work is part of your cultural heritage, you're more.
Adam Carolla
So it's a plan.
Dawson
In my family, it was like, yeah, work hard. That's like what you're supposed to do. It's just standard. But, yeah, I think that if you lose a father out of the house at an early age or never have one, you don't have any guidance. There's no system in place currently to help the kids. You know, you gotta take that youthful energy, these dudes, these young men who've got no dad. You gotta take that and point it into a certain direction or it's gonna find the street's direction. And that's what happens more often than not. These guys get caught up in the street life because it's more exciting, more fun, and more monetarily beneficial for them than going to work.
Adam Carolla
And, you know, yeah, I get what they're doing. I'm. I don't get what the government's doing. I don't get what the city's doing. I don't give it. The politicians are doing. They're always talking about going to college. They're not going to college. But they need a trade. They need to make money. Yeah, we don't want them in gangs. We don't want them on welfare. We want them to work well, I'll tell you. And we need a workforce.
Dawson
If the current model is okay, like, the guys get busted about high school age, they start getting up into that gang life or here in Los Angeles, I'm talking about. And then they go to prison and they be a bum inside of there for a while. And then they finally find a trade when they're getting close to their release date.
Adam Carolla
Yes, yes. That's.
Dawson
Finally they go, okay, I'll be a plumber.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Yeah. We spend millions incarcerating them. And they should be learning to be a plumber when they're 16. And then when they're 18, they can go to work and they can make good money.
Dawson
100%, I'm with you.
Adam Carolla
And it's never discussed. I mean, it's like I've talked about my whole life. Mike Rowe talk about it like a couple of People. But I've never heard any government anybody. No. Official, no. They all have their fucking LGBT plans, but they never have any. I never hear them talk about, like, hey, we need vocational training. We need workers. AI is not going to replace plumbers. You can't snake a toilet with AI.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Well, if you put, like, a TikTok station, I'm sure you're going to get a lot more people out in the construction zones. Just a thought. Just spitballing. Okay, we're gonna have to do drafts for everybody. We're have to do drafts for doctors, drafts for construction workers. No one's going to want to do any hard labor anymore. Everyone wants to be famous.
Adam Carolla
All right? But here's what everyone misses out on, I think, which is, I was talking to Dr. Drew about this. There's. Especially with all this ice shit. So he's like, who's going to do. Who's going to pick your lettuce or who's going to clean your toilets or whatever? All right, so a couple things. It is weird to be simultaneously in the crowd that's constantly talking about a living wage and how everyone needs to get paid more and we need a higher minimum wage. We need a living wage. So we go, well, if you work at McDonald's, you should get 25 or 30 bucks an hour per living wage. And you go, okay, well, these are poor people. They work. They need to live. They need a living wage. You go, all right. And then 10 minutes later, you go, we're gonna send ice in, and they're gonna pull these illegals out of these fields. And the same people go, you wanna pay $7 for a head of lettuce? You wanna pay. It's like, well, wait a minute. Is it living wages or not? Are we paying these people or not? You know how much it's gonna cost when you go to the supermarket? It's gonna be $80 a grape and $14 for each strawberry. And hold. We care about the brown people, right? Yes. We care about the living wage. Right? Right. So why are you okay with these guys working for slave labor? And then why are you saying. I tell you, if you charge 30 bucks when you work at said Taco Bell, then a burrito is going to go from $4 to $7. That's how that's going to work. And if you pay the guys in the fields living wages, then the strawberry basket is going to go from $3 to $5, but you still have to pay them a living wage. So which is it you want them to work for? Free and clean our toilets. And also the jobs Americans won't do. That's bullshit. They'll do anything they have to do, but they have to be compelled to do it. You can't give them fucking food stamps and welfare and tell them to do it. They're not gonna do it. Every kid I grew up with ended up working construction. We all did the ditch digging. We all did the demo. We all cleaned up garbage. Everyone was white. Everyone did it. Historically, that's what we did in this country. It's totally doable. Poor people will fucking work if they're. If you don't subsidize it. They have to work. So this whole thing of, like, who's going to do these jobs? Poor people. There's always poor people. And. Or if you're going to have them do these jobs, why don't you pay them? By the way, when you go like, you want to pay $7 for a head of lettuce, it's like, well, if that's what it costs to pay somebody to harvest the lettuce and to grow the lettuce, then that's what it is.
Jessie Mae Peluso
And doesn't everything just naturally, everything just starts to get more expensive. I mean, there are $24 grapes at Erewhon right now.
Adam Carolla
Really?
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yeah, absolutely. And a Haley Bieber smoothie. That's like $75. Cause it grows extra collagen out of your face.
Adam Carolla
What is that? What's in the halo? God damn it. What is that? Little bitch. A billion dollars. She made a billion dollars.
Jessie Mae Peluso
That's amazing. I hate a billion dollars.
Adam Carolla
I don't either.
Dawson
Yeah, a billion. Oh, okay.
Adam Carolla
She made a billion. You just made me.
Dawson
Wow.
Adam Carolla
Stephen was in here. Sell me. She did her business for three years. What?
Jessie Mae Peluso
And made a billion.
Adam Carolla
Sold it for a billion.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Nice selling pants.
Dawson
What did she sell? I don't even know anything about this.
Adam Carolla
No smoothies.
Jessie Mae Peluso
What was it? Do you know what the business was? What is always 100% cotton panty liners? I'm just looking for it.
Adam Carolla
No, it's always cosmetics. It's always. You didn't know she did cosmetics?
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yeah, it's always. They always do cosmetics.
Adam Carolla
They take really good looking.
Jessie Mae Peluso
It's organic.
Adam Carolla
We're so fucking dumb as a society. We take really good looking people that are 23 and a half and we go, you must make great makeup. It's like, yeah, that's.
Jessie Mae Peluso
That's not the country. That's. That's the men. That's the marketing from back in the 50s, you guys. It's Your fucking fault.
Adam Carolla
Who buys this?
Jessie Mae Peluso
We do.
Manny Pacquiao
But we.
Jessie Mae Peluso
We've been targeted for years.
Adam Carolla
Targeted? Years of dumbos are seeing a 23 year old and think she's hot because of their makeup.
Jessie Mae Peluso
We can't have pores. You guys want us to be perfect. That's why she's a billionaire.
Dawson
She's unspared out like a Barbie.
Adam Carolla
You guys shouldn't. You guys should never bid on that. I'm saying she didn't get to. How she gets to look, it's all genetics is what I'm saying.
Dawson
She rolled out of bed mostly like that.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Smoothies. What the hell's in that smoothie?
Jessie Mae Peluso
There you go. Look.
Dawson
Is this a vagina candle?
Jessie Mae Peluso
$20. The vagina.
Adam Carolla
Hailey Bieber's strawberry Glazed skin smoothie. What's that?
Dawson
A fat 20?
Jessie Mae Peluso
You have to order it like a LA girl. It's Haley Bieber's glazed skin smoothie.
Adam Carolla
I want to know what else is in that smoothie. Probably I can't read it for you. I know.
Dawson
Collagen is a thing, right?
Adam Carolla
Collagen is a thing.
Dawson
You girls are all about that.
Adam Carolla
We love collagen.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yeah. You tried to highlight it, but now it's all black.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah, it's on my screen. All right, I got it. You ready?
Jessie Mae Peluso
Organic strawberries, bananas, avocado, the blood of children, dates, maple syrup, collagen peptides, and.
Adam Carolla
Don'T forget the adrenochrome.
Jessie Mae Peluso
The adrenochrome. Oh, this is a popular trend that I don't know if we can debunk. Sea moss gel. That's something that really started to take off, I think, actually. Do you know Dr. Sebi? Are you familiar with Dr. Sebi?
Adam Carolla
No, I don't think so.
Jessie Mae Peluso
He's dead now. There's controversy as to how he died.
Adam Carolla
There's avocado in this avocado. There's avocado in everything.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Now California.
Adam Carolla
I know.
Jessie Mae Peluso
That's our fruit right there.
Adam Carolla
Weren't we supposed to be paying $20 for an avocado when some, like, the politicians were like, you want to pay $40 for guacamole? Remember we're going to do that like four months ago.
Jessie Mae Peluso
What was that gonna do? What was the first time?
Jason Mayhem Miller
They moved on to tomatoes.
Manny Pacquiao
Now.
Adam Carolla
They moved on to tomatoes now. Trump was talking about tariffs, and so everyone just started saying, you're gonna pay $40 for guacamole, and then they forgot about it or something. I don't know. I don't know. So what is. First off, people need to know that basically Dates are essentially just saying like sugar and maple syrup is a sugar, but this thing looks like it tastes pretty fucking good.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Dates are actually really good at regulating your blood glucose. So for people who have insulin resistance and stuff like that, they're actually really helpful.
Adam Carolla
Well, it' than a spoonful of sugar. But if you're trying to lose weight, don't eat dates or sugar is basically what I'm saying.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Science, science, science with Adam Carolla.
Adam Carolla
Well, it's like, you know, stuff that tastes good. Like when you go, man, this smoothie tastes pretty good. And they go, it doesn't have any sugar in it, but it's got a shitload of bananas and dates and pineapple in it. You go, wow, it's still good. It's like, yeah, because it's got. That's a ton.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Different shapes of sugar.
Adam Carolla
Different shapes of sugar. Maple syrup is just that too. God, what do you gotta do to get a smoothie at Erwan? Does anyone else have smoothies at Erwhon?
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yeah, Ray, the singer I believe has one.
Adam Carolla
Ray Charles.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yeah, good old Ray. It's called the blind Coconut. No, I don't know what.
Adam Carolla
Ray, Ray, Ray.
Jessie Mae Peluso
R A Y E. And that went viral as well.
Adam Carolla
Uh huh.
Jessie Mae Peluso
So it's like, you know, a marketing trend.
Adam Carolla
They have their. She has a smoothie.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I believe she had a smoothie as well. She's amazing singer, really talented.

Adam Carolla
There was a day when having a sandwich named after you was a big deal.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Guineas still do that. Guineas will toss a name on a sandwich for you.
Dawson
Oh, you don't gotta be racist about them.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, we do. We'll toss a name on a sandwich. But I'm. I'm. I'm talking about like a Tony Bennett or something, you know, like. Like. Like classic. Like they'll have. They would delis would dub sandwiches after people and they'd have their pictures up the whole time.
Jessie Mae Peluso
The owner with the guy. I love that. There's a place in Hoboken on the corner. I can't remember the street, but all of their Italian sandwiches were named after famous Italian singers and actors. And they actually had photos of sandwiches.
Adam Carolla
Travis Scott has a smoothie, which I think is just a happy meal put in a blender.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Travis Scott.
Adam Carolla
Did Travis Scott have a McDonald's deal too?
Dawson
Yeah, he's very popular.
Adam Carolla
Travis Scott has a smoothie. I don't know what that. And yeah, he had. So Travis Scott is so employed that he does a deal with McDonald's and a deal with Erwan, which is essentially like you going, I am sponsored by Rolls Royce. And you go, that's literally McDonald's. The worst thing you can put into you. Erwan, where you have to pay 80 bucks for an organic certification just to get in the front door. And he does them both.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I like it. I mean, you're covering the whole spectrum.
Dawson
You did win the American dream.
Jessie Mae Peluso
You're like, I'm gonna hit everybody from all angles.
Adam Carolla
What is in the Travis Scott weed?
Dawson
Yeah, no, I think it's Ozempic and something else.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yeah, Cannabis oil and coconut milk and cereal milk. That's my guess.
Adam Carolla
We'll try to figure that. Try to figure that one out.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Oh, here we go.
Adam Carolla
Here we go.
Dawson
The storm smoothie.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Storm smoothie.
Dawson
Storm storms.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Oh, God, there's a lot of. Yeah, you can't highlight. We can't read it.
Adam Carolla
Well, you make it bigger is what I suppose you could do.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Malk. Malk. Organic coconut milk. Malk is a type of milk that only has whole ingredients. In it. And it's $75 a bottle. But it's so good.
Adam Carolla
Really?
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yes. Magic mind, mental performance, which is like a healthy shot you can take and makes you smarter than malk is.
Adam Carolla
What?
Jessie Mae Peluso
Again, Bill Nye, Malk is a brand of milk that is so delicious, but it's very expensive.
Dawson
Organic coconut milk.
Adam Carolla
All right.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Agua de kefir.
Dawson
Kefir, I believe.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Kefir. That's yogurt, right?
Dawson
Yeah, it is.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Dragon fruit fresco. This just sounds.
Dawson
Look, man, I'm into it, bro. How much? Let me get my wallet.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Ayahuasca.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Let me tell you what really goes on. You go in there and you go, I want the Travis Scott smoothie. And they go, okay, that'll be $71. And you go, oh, okay, I'll just wait. And then they go, yeah, let me go make that. And then they go in the back and they pop a can of ins. Yeah, they just dump it in a glass, and they give a shot of tap water, and they stir it with one of those foam sticks. You know, they swizzle it up and they go, there you go. That'll be $71. And you go, I feel smarter.
Jessie Mae Peluso
It's wild. Cause you think about back in the day, before we had any real language and we were just grunting in caves, we could only eat one thing at a time. If you were to take these physical items that weren't blended and try to bite them, it'd be physically impossible. So I don't even know if we're supposed to have all of this in our body at once.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, gone too far. You're eating pineapple and spinach and banana and oranges and maple syrup. And you're right. We had one lump of water buffalo.
Jessie Mae Peluso
We had a leg.
Adam Carolla
We had a leg of buffalo.
Jessie Mae Peluso
We're just eating shin.
Adam Carolla
Oh, by the way, we ate shin for four nights in a row.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Four nights.
Adam Carolla
Four nights. We'd smoke it thousand nights in a row. And by the way, we didn't have shin flakes for breakfast. We just had shit.
Jessie Mae Peluso
We just hit. Yes.
Adam Carolla
We ate buffalo shin. Water buffalo shin. And that's all right. You're right. And now we got malk.
Dawson
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Coconut milk, agua de kiffer, and stuff we never heard of. And it's too much. You're right.
Jessie Mae Peluso
And people are complaining. I love when people complain. Today it's like you have dragon fruit fresa in your smoothie. Shut the fuck up. There's so many things available to you.
Adam Carolla
Did Travis Scott dream this one up?
Dawson
Yeah. Yeah, he Knows all about sun chlorella powder.
Adam Carolla
He's just got a gay assistant. He just went, there you go.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I could see.
Adam Carolla
Knock yourself out.
Jessie Mae Peluso
He's pretty intentional. As an artist, I can see him, like, honestly, doing ayahuasca. And all this came to him in a dream. And he's like, this is exactly what I need in this order for this movie.
Adam Carolla
I don't see him with the Malk.
Jessie Mae Peluso
The malk might have been, you know, maybe a brand collab between Irwan.
Adam Carolla
I'm gonna say he's done more Popeyes than Malk in his life.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I'm gonna say that was racist.
Dawson
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. But was it accurate?
Jessie Mae Peluso
But are you wrong?
Adam Carolla
Are you wrong? Never wrong. Always racist. Never wrong.
Jessie Mae Peluso
New slogan for the pod.
Adam Carolla
Always racist, never wrong. Yeah, look, I'm not saying he didn't test it out, but I'm saying he definitely found somebody in his camp and said, what the fuck? There's always one nutty chick, always wears Lululemons who's on top of all this shit. And she's telling you it's aloe now, but yeah. Oh, it's aloe.
Jessie Mae Peluso
It's aloe.
Adam Carolla
I'm not doing Lululemons anymore.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I don't own any Lululemons.
Adam Carolla
Oh, I didn't know.
Dawson
Well, the reason they named it that is a pretty interesting racist reason.
Adam Carolla
That's what I always heard. You know that story, Blue melons. Yeah.
Dawson
It's accepted. Lemons. Yeah. The Asian people couldn't say it correctly, so that's why he put it.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I'm here to debunk that. I can't say it. I'm Sicilian. I can't say it.
Adam Carolla
Well, aloe. I'm surrounded by the way. Aloe's the only thing Travis Scott didn't put in his smoothie. That's the only thing missing from his smoothie.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I just figured out how he made the smoothie. He got high, walked around Erewhon and just started picking shit up.
Dawson
Yeah, yeah. He went through the. Yeah, the supplement section. He just went through the section. Popped it in there.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Can somebody find. I am telling. I try to tell people there was an Erewhon. It was open in Burbank. Somebody Andrew find it. Literally used to go there with my hippie ass mom in the seventies. It was nothing. I mean, I didn't know that it.
Dawson
Was a place until recently. My bad.
Adam Carolla
It was a little shitty. Toluca Lake, Burbank Little store. It was Hippieville, usa. It was cheap. It had nothing. It was no Hollywood, no glitz, no Glamour, no smoothies, no celebrities, no nothing. Just chicks that didn't shave their pits walking around trying to buy carob chunks that were in a barrel, like, out front. Like, that was 1975. Erewhon Living. I mean, that it's sort of weird because it's sort of like. It's sort of like these festivals, you know, it's like they talk about, like, Burning man, you know what I mean? This was hardcore hippie dudes smoking out, making love in the mud and all that kind of shit. And all of a sudden, Nabisco's come in and corporate sponsorship and everything. Erwin. That's what happened. Erwin. I mean, Erwan was hippie weird hole in the wall. Nobody you knew shop there, and you would never gone there. You would have gone to Lucky's or Ralph's if you were to die a.
Dawson
Hero or live to yourself a villain.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Yeah.
Dawson
Cause they're the bad guy.
Adam Carolla
Eventually. Yeah. Andrew. I know on my screen, it's such a weird thing, but it's written in weird colors and the black background and stuff. I don't know if there's such a thing as just typing on my little screen and not having it all blocked out black and everything all the time. Is there such a thing as just typing on it? They do cut and paste, but that's. That's because that's what they do. So when did Erwan open? Let's see.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I thought it was more recent than that.
Dawson
Me too. I thought that this whole marketing push and everybody on social media talking about their $72 smoothies.
Adam Carolla
Founded in 1966. Oh, wow.
Jessie Mae Peluso
By who?
Adam Carolla
Earl? Juan? Oh, wow. No, I just remember.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I was like, oh, he named it after himself.
Jason Mayhem Miller
It just sounds to me like you're horribly mispronouncing everyone.
Adam Carolla
You never heard of Erwan?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Never heard of it.
Adam Carolla
Erwan is. Well, I didn't say it was in. Is it to look like. Or Burbank or in. It was in the San Fernando Valley. I'm not saying it was. I don't even know if there was a Toluca Lake back then, because it's just like Glendale, Burbank. It wasn't North Hollywood. Whatever. It was in the Valley. I'm pretty sure the first Erewhon was in the Valley. 1966. My mom would have been putzing around that place in 73 with her hippie buddies looking. And they had, you know, everything was like a substitute for everything. Like, they didn't have chocolate that carob, and they didn't have dessert that halva and all sorts of weird shit. And all it did was taste bad. It was equally as bad for you. It just tasted like shit. But it was. It was not the brand name and it wasn't. It was mainly that the man didn't make it. You know, it wasn't Kellogg's and it wasn't Hostess. It was something other than the Man.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yeah, sounds like something like the Manson family would shop at.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah.
Dawson
100% tanks grabbing carob.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So it was founded in Boston.
Jessie Mae Peluso
What?
Adam Carolla
But when was the first Erewhon out here? Cause I remember that place, kid. All right, we got some news. I got other stuff I gotta complain about, though.
Dawson
All right, great.
Adam Carolla
You wanna weird? Here's a weird one. You got that E. Jean Carroll clip. She's the one who accused Trump of raping her in a dressing stall.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Oh, we're going in hot. Oh, yeah, we're jumping right in the freezer.
Adam Carolla
She's with Anderson Cooper, but you see how nutty Anderson. You see how nutty she is and how Anderson Cooper doesn't really know what to do. But the thing that was funny is I talked to a friend of mine who's like a high society. Went to Brown Rider, lives in Brooklyn or whatever, and he's real woke and hip and cool and runs in those circles. And he said, I was at a party and E. Jean Carroll was there. And I went, oh, okay, wow, weird. And she went, she's a fan of yours. And I was like, what?
Unknown
That is the least.
Adam Carolla
You know, if you gave me a choice of, like, who's a fan of mine? Like, if you said Ted Nugent likes you, I'd go, yeah, I know. Yeah, I like that guy. Yeah, I get that. But first One was in LA. It was off of Fairfax in 1969. So that's the Erewhon has been in this mofo for 55 years.
Jessie Mae Peluso
That's wild.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. It's not new. It's been around. I mean, how. How about that, by the way? It's Erewhon. It's been out here for 57 years. And it got hot like 19 months ago or something.
Jessie Mae Peluso
It's like every actor, it takes a while.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but I mean, Leonardo was working when he was young. I mean, they're not there. 57. No. I bet Rodney Dangerfield.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yeah. Okay.
Adam Carolla
All right. Sorry. That clip. Where is that? That. This is her with Anderson. I think most people think of rape as being sexy. Let's take a short break. Think of the fantasies. We've got to take a quick break. If you can stick around, we'll talk more. You're fascinating to talk to. Wow. You rarely see. You rarely see Anderson. Sort of short circuit.
Dawson
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
You know what I mean? But this robot, he's like, let's go.
Dawson
We'Ll be back.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I need to see the whole interview to have context because that.
Dawson
Yeah, that was strange.
Adam Carolla
She's nutty. She's nutty.
Jessie Mae Peluso
But do we know that for sure?
Adam Carolla
Oh, we can just watch. We'll watch a clip again. Let's see. I think most people think of rape as being sexy. Let's take a short break. Think of the fantasies. We've got to take a quick break. If you can stick around, we'll talk more on the other side.
Jessie Mae Peluso
We're still uncomfortable to talk about it. I mean, to her point, it happens so often that some people must think it's sexy.
Adam Carolla
Oh, listen, I used to do this joke. The only joke, the only joke Dr. Drew ever laughed at. Oh, no, no. The only joke, the only reoccurring joke. I had two jokes involving rape. And one of them he laughed at real hard all the time. And the other one he never understood. And they're both rape related. I just go, there was a whole movement in the early 90s, maybe mid-90s, where they were going, listen, rape is not a sexual act. It's an act of control. It's an act of violence, but it's not a. It's not a sexual thing. It's a violent. It's a violent act and it's an act of control. And it's violence, but it's not sex, not a sexual thing. It's a violence thing. And I'd go, I absolutely agree. It's like, it's a violent, violent act where you come in the middle and it's no different than like if I robbed a bank and the guy was behind me and I pistol whipped him. Then I came and then I took the money or I walked into a 711 and I held the guy up and I started coming and then I smashed him over the head or shot him. It was a violent, violent crime where you come in the middle of it. And then Drew would laugh insanely like a maniac at that all the time. And I'd go, as a matter of fact, there's nothing sexual about it except for the part where you come, but other than the coming, it's all violent. And then you come, but it's not sexual. But you do come, but it's not sexual. And that's the only sexual component of it is the minute coming part. And he would laugh, and he would laugh and he would laugh. And then I did my other rape joke, and we'd never laugh.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Why don't you tell. Are you gonna tell us that one?
Adam Carolla
I'm gonna tell you that one.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Okay. I respect you for that.
Adam Carolla
The other rape joke was. Now you have to understand, you're not old enough. And you're not old enough. But they would. They would. To ride on the Hindenburg. No, and let me finish. You're not old enough. But every bad 70s cop or detective show would always. The promo would always be. They'd go, this week, in order for Dan Tanner to bust an international jewel thief, he's gonna have to become a jewel thief. Like they do. Like. Like it was all. In order to bust those bikers, he's gonna have to become an outlaw biker. And so that was the 70s trope. And so I used to say, we even have Will Arnett doing it just because of his voiceover work somewhere. Dawson, that exists. We don't have it, but it's a Loveline thing. But he'd go, there was a show called Hack. I don't know. It's a stupid detective show. It was called Hack. And I'd go. I'd go, this week on Hack, in order to bust an international counterfeiting ring, Hack is going to have to become a rapist. And it would always end with rapists. And it would get more and more elaborate, and then I have to become a rapist. And Drew would always go, I don't know. I don't know what that means. It's funny because you think he's going to have to become a jewel thief or a biker, but he's just a rape. Rape, you know? And he'd go, I don't know. That's not funny. That's not funny. And I go, but the other rape. He loved the other rape joke.
Dawson
It's Too absurd for Dr. Drew.
Adam Carolla
Too absurd? Yeah.
Dawson
Too absurd. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
All right.
Jessie Mae Peluso
It was too abstract.
Adam Carolla
It's too abstract for Drew.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Drew, like the very consistent clear message. You got too artsy, too jagged.
Adam Carolla
I got too jazz, avant garde.
Jessie Mae Peluso
You did a little Felonious Monk.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I want to riff.
Dawson
It's the jokes you don't hear.
Adam Carolla
I got off the page and I started riffing with Felonious.
Jessie Mae Peluso
You meandered. You don't meander.
Adam Carolla
I try to keep it on the rails for Drew because he's a, you know, missionary, fucking meat and potato guy.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Academia. You have to be. They have to. Two plus Two equals four. Doesn't fucking equal five, Adam.
Adam Carolla
Well, he loved my rape. It's a violent act where you come joke.
Dawson
I know, but you gotta understand, he's a rape elitist.
Adam Carolla
That's right. He's a rape snob. Simply safe. Well, here's the deal. Most security systems, they wait until after someone breaks in and well, by then it's too late.

Adam Carolla
We have Will Arnett.
Dawson
Oh, nice.
Adam Carolla
What? I didn't know we even had that one.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I love it.
Jason Mayhem Miller
It's on YouTube.
Adam Carolla
Oh, it's on YouTube.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Love him so much.
Adam Carolla
I love YouTube. Yeah, he's great. He. I had him do that voiceover for my promo where he become a rapist.
Jessie Mae Peluso
You really put some effort into this.
Adam Carolla
Oh, I put. I burn a lot of calories, my lady. All right, well, Dawson, if you have it, you can tell me, but if not, we'll move on.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I'll tell you when. Just trying to locate it. It's an eight minute file. Stand by.
Adam Carolla
Oh, okay. All right, so we got a little news. Yeah, why don't we do a little news and we'll wait for Pacquiao to come on and we'll do some news. And then, Dawson, when you find Will Arnett, you can tell us. And hack was a TV show, probably 98, 99, something like that. I think it was called Hack because he drove a cab and he solves crime.
Dawson
Yes. Oh, I remember.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I don't remember this at all.
Adam Carolla
It's perfect. It's how TV used to work. Like, what's his name? Hack. What's he do? Drives a Hack. Yeah. And does what? Solves crime from behind the wheel. Oh, man, that's good, Hack. That's good. But what if his name is like John Hackleman or something? Like. Oh, I don't know. Like. I didn't know. I think it was. He drove the cab. All right, so let's see. Go ahead.
Dawson
All right. Yeah. First up, former MLB player convicted of murder in a California home invasion.
Adam Carolla
Yes.
Dawson
Daniel Serafini, 51, was convicted Monday of first degree murder in 2021. Shooting of. Of Robert Gary Spohr. Jury also found him guilty. Attempted murder of Spore's wife, Wendy Wood, and first degree burglary.
Adam Carolla
There gotta be history or drugs.
Dawson
Yeah, there was sort of a. They were doing a ranch. The $1.3 million dispute over a ranch renovation project. Oh, there was history in a text message. He said, I'm gonna kill them one day. And that day, in fact, they had given 90 grand to Serafini's wife the day of the shootings. But he was still mentioning 21 grand that they owed him. So all this over nothing.
Adam Carolla
Here's my thing. Either send nobody a text saying, I'm gonna kill somebody. Never send it, or send everyone that. So you go, well, fuck, I should fucking send it to everyone. I just send one to my accountant yesterday. I sent one to my lawyer.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Make it your email.
Adam Carolla
Sign off. I just fucking send it to everyone. So if I can killed everybody I said that I have, nobody would be left on the planet. I'm gonna check your email. I sent you one district attorney. I sent you one four years ago. You didn't see that? That's all I did. It's either gotta be all or it's gotta be nothing. I agree with Jesse May. Maybe nothing.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Maybe nothing.
Adam Carolla
But if you do the one like you're drunk and you do it.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Then send one out to everyone you've ever worked with.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Mass text.
Adam Carolla
Didn't kill them, did I?
Jessie Mae Peluso
Nope.
Adam Carolla
We have. Oh, we have Will Arnett doing hack. It's become. It was comical. I tivoed it. I ran it back three times. Like this way, Judging Amy, it's like, wow, just become a rapist. Yeah. In order for Amy to stop an international jewel thing, Amy is gonna have to become a rapist. Which is, which is odd because you don't. You don't. You wouldn't know why that would have to be. But. Well, that's why you gotta watch. Why would someone have to become a rapist to stop counterfeiters Seemingly illegal. You would think. Where's the correlation? Well, why don't you tune in and find out? That's right. And Will is. Well, it's just too bad. What? What's my show? Oh, the crank anchors. No. Oh, yeah. Crank anchors. Tuesday nights. Thank you. On Comedy Central. No, A hack. Oh, yeah, that's right. It's too bad Hack didn't make it because Always the best. This week on Hack. In order to reach these kids, Hack.
Unknown
Will have to become a rapist.
Adam Carolla
Now listening, listening, listening to that voice. I now know the guy you mean. It is on NBC and he does NBC daytime, and he's like the seemingly lowest sounding, most sort of daunting guy. And it's for NBC daytime, though. Yeah. It's like, no, no, no. New Days. You're like Days of our Lives. How many, how many Z's and days this week on days, it's like he just keeps talking until he runs out of air with each word. This we are. All right. That's Will Arnett talking about hack. Yeah. Ernie Anderson used to be the voice. Who's Paul Thomas Anderson's dad.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Oh, wow.
Adam Carolla
He was the ABC voice where he. It was the best. You can find a little of that Dawson, too. He'd shift gears, you know, he'd go. And on the Love Bone.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I love that.
Adam Carolla
You know, Captain Stupid. And then we go. Then on Charlie's Angels, one of the angels is abducted. You know what I mean? And it was always great. It was like happy on Fantasy Island. Then it was tough. And then he'd go to Vegas and he'd do these great ones. They go, and on Vegas, somebody's killing showgirls and Dan wants to know why. They cut to a clip of a sandbag falling and Dan pushing someone out of the way. A lot of sandbag related death. I figured from watching 70s TV, if you got ahold of me when I was like 11 and went, Adam, how are you gonna die? I'd go, well, I've narrowed it down to either sandbag falling on my head backstage, someone cut the rope, or quicksand. But it's gonna have to do with sand. Related. Some sand Related death. It's quicksand or it's a sandbag. I'm gonna get crushed. I'm gonna get engulfed. But I've been watching a lot of TV and that's pretty much how I'm going.
Jessie Mae Peluso
The irony is, like, up in Malibu, they're probably gonna have to use a lot of sandbags.
Adam Carolla
Oh, my God. It's come to fruition.
Jessie Mae Peluso
It's gonna come true.
Adam Carolla
Oh, my God. All I see is sand out there.
Dawson
It's a prophecy foretold in the 70s.
Adam Carolla
Oh, wow. It didn't happen. Yeah. Everyone was killing someone with a sand bag. Which, first off, I seemed like a pretty weird way to, like a low percentage way to kill somebody.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Extra laborious when it doesn't need.
Adam Carolla
First off, you've gotta get Sammy Davis Jr. S on stage and Dan's watching in the wings.
Dawson
And you see that you're sawing the rope.
Adam Carolla
And at the right moment, by the.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Way, what does it happen?
Adam Carolla
If I was backstage, you saw me sawing a rope and the rope breaks. The sandbag would fall on my head.
Dawson
Exactly.
Adam Carolla
I would be standing in the wrong place. There's 80 ropes. You know what I mean? Like, wouldn't you hit the rope? And a curtain on the side would just fall on the ground. How are you gonna get that thing to land right on Sammy Davis Jr's head? Who's moving? He's dancing around the stage. You have to place him. Then you have to, like, get out a fucking sexton and a compass or something. And like. Because you gotta figure out, like, yeah.
Dawson
Account for the rotation of the earth.
Adam Carolla
You gotta do some test drops, right?
Dawson
Yeah, yeah. All day you're doing test drops. I really want to get this on the first try.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I'm still stuck on the word sexton.
Adam Carolla
I don't know what that is. It's like oscilloscope, how mariners used to navigate the sea.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Oh, that's a good word.
Adam Carolla
A compass and a sexton.
Jessie Mae Peluso
That was great.
Adam Carolla
We used to have a mortise and a pestle and a compass and a sex. And you get your sex in your compass. But yes, you had to fucking figure. And you have to get hit dead nuts on with a sandbag. Cause if you get grazed with a sandbag, you're fine. That's a fucking zero burger.
Dawson
If it won't even break your clavicle, you'll be fine.
Adam Carolla
If you get grazed by sandbag, you will finish that performance that tonight you have to get hit dead nuts on. Somebody's got to make that sandbag drop. Exactly on your skull. Right on you. And even then, it may not kill you.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I didn't know that this was that prevalent of a cause of death in the sandbags.
Adam Carolla
They would kill you. Here's how they kill people. If you're on stage, they drop a sandbag. And now what they would do is they'd have black gloves and a hunting knife, and they just show tight on the hands doing. They wouldn't show the person because you couldn't know who it was. You know, some nefarious guys back there with black gloves and a hunting knife. By the way, there's 80 showgirls standing around, nobody wants to curious about the new guy with the hunting knife and the gloves who's just hanging around back there cutting ropes. I'm just cutting ropes. Don't mind me, all right? They would cut the rope if they wanted you killed on stage. If they wanted you killed off a stage, they would cut the brake lines to your car.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Okay, I've seen that.
Adam Carolla
The thing about the thing that's. I know something about cars. Cutting the brake line to a car, there's a rubber hose that goes from, like a solid metal hose, and it's got to be flexible, and it goes to your brake calipers because it's got to move. You know, you gotta be able to turn, and it's gotta have some movement in it. Fine. If you cut that hose when you get in the car in the morning and you start up and you put your foot on the brake like you're backing out the drive, your foot just will push all the way to the floor. You'll go. You go. Oh, there's no pressure. It's a closed system.
Dawson
Yeah, I know a little bit of somebody. You cut them halfway, bud.
Adam Carolla
You cut them halfway.
Dawson
Yeah. Let them wear out.
Adam Carolla
It's a system to trick them. It's a system that's closed. If you open it and you press the brake one time, it'll all just squirt out the cut hose. You'll get no brake. But what I'm saying is they drove fine all the way through the city, and then they got up on a mountain road, and all of a sudden it's like, whoa. But it's like, yeah, but you would have. You wouldn't have gotten. You wouldn't have made it to your mailbox without knowing the brake in race cars all the time. Like, the brake pedal's real squishy. Like, we gotta bleed if it gets air in it. It gets squishy because the air compresses. But you can't back down your driveway, go up the street, get on the freeway and then get off on Angeles Crest highway and get eight miles up the highway. And then it's like, oh, you haven't.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Driven with my cousin. She never uses the.
Adam Carolla
Never uses.
Jessie Mae Peluso
She'd make her way.
Adam Carolla
She wouldn't know.
Jessie Mae Peluso
She's got that Sicilian road rage. She doesn't use her break at all.
Adam Carolla
We have Ernie Anderson. Oh, what on. We have Ernie Anderson coming in Thursday. Mark's homesick for. Or that was wildly created Mindy, but that hardly lightens a low. Mark and Mindy. And Tillman's a jailbird who'll try anything to escape. Try anything, Marshall. I wouldn't think of this nest of the West. Then Louis brings his business to Allen's, to Wall Street. You need to get dirty. It's a special one hour taxi. Then find out about America's fascination with chocolates.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Oh, this makes me so.
Dawson
Yeah, it is great, man.
Jessie Mae Peluso
This is great.
Adam Carolla
I need a hard hitting chocolate based.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Oh, we up.
Adam Carolla
Then learn about America's obsession with chocolate. And she's like, but now they've got to learn about America's. What they call their obsession. Learn about America's obsession with chocolate as we explore interracial dating. Like that's what they do now, now. Then it was just bon bons.
Jessie Mae Peluso
That was an emotional roller coaster.
Adam Carolla
I told you. But you still gotta find Love Boat.
Dawson
Yeah, yeah. It wasn't fantasizing variety in that.
Adam Carolla
That was a little too.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I felt happy.
Adam Carolla
That's a little too. No, but, but, but Love Boat. Loveboat was happy. Laverne and Shirley, let's see what would be on the cb. Love Boat, Charlie's Angels. But then when, When Vegas came back and got serious.
Dawson
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Damn serious.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I mean, that took me on an emotional journey.
Adam Carolla
Sandbags or quicksand? You pick the sand. But that's how. That's what's gonna get you.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I mean, get you.
Adam Carolla
When I was 11, I was going, yeah, probably 60, 70% chance I will be killed by one form of sand or another.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Rational fear.
Adam Carolla
And I wanted to do comedy, but I was worried about the sandbags. Of course. You know what I mean?
Dawson
Wanna be explorer, you gotta worry about the quicksand.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I think the irony is, I think comedy's taken out more people than sandbags.
Adam Carolla
Yo, God ODs. Jesus Christ, Rip. All right. Yeah, you can find another Ernie Anderson. What else?
Dawson
Lightning it up a little bit. Single women resort to stealing men's lunches to get asked out on a date.
Adam Carolla
How does that Work. I saw that, but I don't know what that means.
Dawson
Well, in this story, some ladies resorted to stealing the finance bros lunches from the lunch counter and then finding the guys on LinkedIn or whatever and saying, oh, let me make it up to you. Weird TikTok trend, I guess.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Is this in like a New York commercial cafeteria?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, like a company.
Dawson
You know how you can do for food pickup. You can order ahead. That's what's going on. They look at the name on the thing. So it's a strange way to do.
Adam Carolla
It, but I never knew women had thoughts about at all. No sexuality and you know.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Sorry, that made me laugh so hard.
Adam Carolla
I just. I just thought they were kind of there, you know?
Dawson
Yeah.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Just there, you know, just them women, those dumb bitches, they didn't want you.
Adam Carolla
You had to go, like, convince them to like you.
Jessie Mae Peluso
That's the way it should be.
Adam Carolla
I didn't. I thought that was the plan. I didn't know they'd like sit around. Like, I knew there was like, oh, the guy, this. We had a guy in our school that was dreamy. It was like a senior. Name was Carl Bringas, you know, And I remember them going, carl Bringas is so dreamy. You know, Like, I kind of got that. But I thought whenever you talk to. Whenever I talk to a woman, they go, oh, yeah, I knew who you were. I liked you, or whatever. And I'm like, it's always news to me. But women are getting much more assertive now.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Well, we have to. The pickings are slim, you guys.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, is it.
Dawson
Or we just like all really good at dressing ourselves up on the social media to like appear to be awesome.
Adam Carolla
I don't know.
Dawson
Or conversely, other guys who can't do it can't do that. So they. You know what I mean? I think guys have always been about this level. It's just now we get to see it and it's advertised and propagandized to.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Everyone I don't know from my side of the court. A lot of you guys are good at being covert narcissists and covert bi personality disorder and covert mental illness and covert broke and covert things as second families in covert. All these other things. And then also add in a dash of. You guys love to fucking murder us. You won't stop killing us. 90% of the world's homicide is caused by you dudes. So.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, well, we do. We do the good and we do the bad.
Jessie Mae Peluso
You do the good and the bad, but when you do the bad, it's like you kill it.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but you can't throw out the good with that.
Jessie Mae Peluso
No, you can't.
Adam Carolla
You got a Golden Gate bridge. Cause us.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Don't throw out the murdered woman with the bathwater.
Dawson
Don't throw out the bath water with that baby.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Although women are starting to fight now.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I think definitely women have start to become more assertive like you said.
Adam Carolla

Adam Carolla
First off, I want to give another semi racist word of semi. Come on, man, just straight racist. You know what? But my racism has a place because I'm looking out for people. All right? I want to tell you women, a lot of women think they can punch guys and guys will just kind of walk away. That is true a lot of the time. But you punch a brother, he will punch you back. I have seen. I have the Internet.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Oh, that's not just a. That is not just reserved for brothers.
Adam Carolla
Not just, but I would say a little higher batting average.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I don't know.
Dawson
Yeah, white guys are natural grapplers.
Adam Carolla
You know what I mean?
Jessie Mae Peluso
I think it's par for par. Have you ever been to a trailer park or white trash part of America?
Adam Carolla
So you think. I think the black man has no advantage in the strike back department with women.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I think that if you were to really lay down a societal statistic on it, that it'd be pretty right here.
Adam Carolla
So if I found 10 random white guys and 10 random black guys, and I told you, you gotta go punch the 10 random black guys or the 10 random white guys, you would just go, I don't care.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I just think that it's.
Dawson
Who would you go? Who would you go with the white guys first right next to it.
Adam Carolla
Who would you punch?
Jessie Mae Peluso
I wouldn't hit. I would not have anyone.
Adam Carolla
If it's all the same, it wouldn't make a difference.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I probably punch the one who looked the most.
Adam Carolla
10 random white guys, 10 random black guys, 10 random white guys, 10 random. What do you do?
Jessie Mae Peluso
Probably a white guy.
Adam Carolla
You're gonna punch the 10 random white guys?
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So as you think. Oh, great. Because you do think the black guys would punch back more then, right? You undid your own argument and I was with you. All right, I, I listen, I think it's a slightly higher capacity to punch back, that's all.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Disagree.
Adam Carolla
No, you know I'm right. You just said I was right. You go punch your white guy.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I'm joking. Because I know.
Adam Carolla
So you wouldn't, you don't think there's any, any cultural anything? What about Asians? What about Asians? What about Asians? What about Asians?
Jessie Mae Peluso
I can't really speak to that. I'm only speaking from my own experience.
Adam Carolla
There's 10 random Asian guys, 10 random Jewish guys, 10 random Muslim guys, 10 random black guys and 10 random white guys. Now who would you go? You can only pick one. Who would you pick?
Jessie Mae Peluso
You're gonna get an email from the few groups that you would pick.
Adam Carolla
I tell you who I would pick. I would probably pick the Jews. Then I would go to the Asian.
Dawson
I don't know, man. You're thinking litigious society, but you throw one jab, you get yourself.
Adam Carolla
You're too far down. It's all. The game is only out of 10 of them, who's going to hit you back? You don't. You're flip. You just say, I'll pick. I'll do the picking. For you.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Because I don't think you pick for me.
Adam Carolla
You're going to get hit back at a higher percentage with black guys. All right, you could say that I did.
Jessie Mae Peluso
You could say I'm not. You know, I just think that it.
Adam Carolla
I think you know what I'm talking about.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Well, speaking from experience, I've never been hit by a black man.
Adam Carolla
Well, I've never been hit by black. Oh, I got hit by a black woman. All sparring and shit. Black guys? No, no. I didn't grow up in a Biden. I got hit by white guys. Yeah, but you would get hit by Eskimos if you grew up in an igloo. But that wouldn't mean they've got a higher capacity. You see what I'm saying?
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yeah, I get what you're saying. I just disagree.
Adam Carolla
You disagree or you're scared?
Jessie Mae Peluso
No, I'm not scared.
Adam Carolla
So you think white guys hit back at a higher probability to women? The same.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I think it's probably pretty equal.
Adam Carolla
It's the same.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I think so.
Adam Carolla
Okay.
Jessie Mae Peluso
That's what I think. I could be wrong. That's just what my gut tells me.
Adam Carolla
Okay. All right, well, we'll watch this clip. It's a woman trying to punch a security officer. Who's black, by the way.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Very calm. Oof. Wow.
Adam Carolla
Could have been a redheaded guy. Would have been the same. The crowd is the part that scares me.
Jessie Mae Peluso
The crowd is the. Yeah, the crowd is the worst, scariest.
Adam Carolla
Part of the whole thing.
Jessie Mae Peluso
What have we become?
Adam Carolla
Well, I mean, he is a security guy, and he did whack his glasses off and he did hit multiple times.
Dawson
Yeah, he's not really known as a power punch or more of a volume guy.
Adam Carolla
That's a volume guy.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Also held onto her, which is a disadvantage. Like, it just. To me. I don't know. That's wild.
Adam Carolla
No, here's my message. Do not punch adult males anymore and think you're not going to get hit.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I agree.
Adam Carolla
That's what I'm saying. There was a time when you would not get hit. And you're a woman. You could freak out and you could slap them or do something, and there's a chance you weren't going to get hit.
Jessie Mae Peluso
A slim chance.
Adam Carolla
No, I've been hit by women. Guys traditionally would not fucking beat on you for that.
Jessie Mae Peluso
But don't you also think this is slightly to your point? But also, I grew up in an area where there were a lot of very poor white people, so that's why I'm speaking from that side of the tracks, per se. Don't you think this is also very indicative of the socioeconomic environment.
Dawson
That security guard had health benefits.
Adam Carolla
He definitely had a. He had glasses that seemed to be prescription. Poor people do everything worse than rich people that you don't wanna do. Healthcare, education, diet, everything. Poor people probably die behind the wheel ten times. Rich people die behind the wheel of cars. They do. Everything you don't want is 10 times as bad.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Right.
Adam Carolla
That's how everything works. But that being said, I grew up with poor people and we didn't steal or fight that much. We fought each. We kind of battled each other, but we weren't out like causing havoc and chaos, you know, it's different now. Like, you would. It is. I hung out with tons of poor guys and I wouldn't even call them chivalrous or any. Or they weren't really anything, but they wouldn't punch a woman. They wouldn't. That woman could slap them. They just kind of fucking hold them or push their hands.
Dawson
You get in a lot of trouble for defending yourself if a woman starts socking you up.
Adam Carolla
If you start.
Dawson
If you hold them down and like, get them to stop socking you when the cops show up, you're going to jail. Like, that's how it is in California.
Adam Carolla
There's a lot more putting hands on women. I'm telling women, don't punch guys and expect not to get punched. You're gonna get punched or anybody, just in general.
Jessie Mae Peluso
But I agree. I think that they're, you know, hitting a guy and having that be something you think is not going to be retaliated is no risky situation.
Adam Carolla
Well, it didn't. It used to be a woman could slap a guy if she was really pissed or he got caught cheating or, you know, whatever feels so good. He used to be able to do it. Used to be able to do it and you didn't. The guy didn't fire back is what I'm saying. Guys are now firing back. They don't care.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I think guys have always kind of fired back.
Adam Carolla
I mean, okay, they're doing it more. They're doing it more. They're doing it.
Jessie Mae Peluso
You're dragging us by our hair.
Adam Carolla
Next up. We're doing it more.
Jessie Mae Peluso
We're doing it out of the cage.
Adam Carolla
It's all the same. There we go.
Dawson
All right. Three Democrats with double digit support in early 2028 presidential primary poll with one clear front runner. You want to guess who that is here?
Adam Carolla
Us.
Dawson
Yes.
Adam Carolla
Newsom. Oh, gosh.
Jessie Mae Peluso
No new fave.
Dawson
No, no. Former Vice President Kamala Harris.
Adam Carolla
Oh, wait, wait. For president or for governor?
Dawson
Yeah, for president.
Adam Carolla
Oh, she.
Dawson
I thought she was everybody's. Yeah. Now she's up there with a substantial margin. Yeah.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Wow.
Dawson
Yeah. Double digit support. Gavin Newsom's up there, too. Yeah, with 10%.
Adam Carolla
So what is she.
Dawson
And then Pete. Pete Buttigieg also. She is up there at 26%.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Wow.
Dawson
So. Yeah. So, yeah, they still really like her. They're back 3%. Mark Cuban was, you know, kind of a political outsider, but at 3%, even Stephen A. Smith and Jon Stewart got 1% apiece.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Jessie Mae Peluso
Mark Cuban, Cuban for the win.
Dawson
Right.
Adam Carolla
I take Cuban.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I take Cuban.
Dawson
So she and I forgot to mention our favorites, Cory Booker and Alexandria ocasio. Cortez is 7%.
Jessie Mae Peluso
You just wanted to say her name. You just wanted to get it clearly.
Dawson
Just wanted to be on the record.
Adam Carolla
Did. Wait a minute. Did we do our Ernie Anderson with the Love Boat stuff or did I miss that one? Is that. Oh, we didn't play it yet.
Jason Mayhem Miller
This is a new one. This is Charlie's Angels in Vegas.
Adam Carolla
Oh, leave it on the screen, Andrew, if we're doing that. Sorry. Huh? Okay. Oh, yeah. Chris is an eyewitness to murder, and the killer plots revenge. Come on, Burton, forget it. On Charlie Angels, then Dan Tanner sniffs out a ring of white slavers. Your body and your looks are worth $25,000. Moving in on Vegas Wednesday. Why?
Dawson
Slavery was the best part.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Your body and your looks are worth $25,000. I'll take that today.
Adam Carolla
I want to hear that one one more time.
Jessie Mae Peluso
That was good.
Adam Carolla
Also, it's kind of a weird sizzle reel. Like you cut to two randos and an LTD going, come on, Bob. Like it is made.
Jessie Mae Peluso
It was made hastily Wednesday.
Adam Carolla
Chris is an eyewitness to murder, and the killer plots revenge. Come on, Burton, forget it. On Charlie's angel, then Dan Tanner sniffs out a ring of white slavers. Your body and your looks are worth $25,000. Moving in on Vegas Wednesday. Fernando Llama says you're worth $25,000.
Jessie Mae Peluso
But you're right, he went on Charlie's Angels.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Yeah. Well, he would do happy. He would do happy. And then we'd do intrigue, you know? Also a lot of guys busting doors at that.
Dawson
Yeah, Yeah, I like that. Yeah, the practical effects.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yeah, I like that. Legit effects.
Adam Carolla
Bob Urich was a cool dude. He lived not too far from where I lived. I used to see him.
Jessie Mae Peluso
This is the guy who was doing the voiceover.
Adam Carolla
Bob Urich is Vegas Stantana Wow. And he was hot. He also was in the movie, the TV made for TV movie Kill Dozer.
Dawson
Yeah.
Jessie Mae Peluso
It's supposed to sound like Bulldozer.
Dawson
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
Kill right in front of it. Right in front of Bull. Yeah.
Dawson
Wait, did he play the guy who did the Killdozer?
Adam Carolla
Kill Dozer was a movie of the week. Okay, that was a bulldozer. That was like taken over by aliens.
Dawson
Oh, my bad. I thought you were talking about. There was an incident in Texas where the guy built a killdozer. He like spot welded all these panels on it and just tore up the whole town, bro.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Dawson
I can't believe you don't know about that story.
Adam Carolla
Oh, I know the town. There is a story where guy.
Dawson
The guy was mad. They burned him on his permits. Just like you're always talking about how they do the permit. They wouldn't give him his permit. He tried to go to the courthouse. They wouldn't know. Somebody. They screwed him over and he said, I'm going to build me a killdozer. And he did. He took out the whole damn town.
Adam Carolla
I may borrow that shit from Malibu if I don't get a fucking permit.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Just get it now.
Adam Carolla
I. There's a story out of San Diego where a guy stole a tank, a military tank, and just fucking drove it down the freeway. Was like smashing cars and stuff like that, you know.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Take matters into your own hands.
Adam Carolla
We got the Killdozer trailer in look. How is Bob Urich in this? So dreamy. Construction crew. A bulldozer taken over by aliens.
Jessie Mae Peluso
It's a great premise. I'm sold.
Adam Carolla
It is.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I'm absolutely sold. Look at the graphic.
Adam Carolla
Anything for a fact, Clint Walker. Except that Bulldozer kills Carl Dutch. Two men dead. Survivors unmanned bulldozer continue its rampage. Kill Dozer, Bro. What? Kill dozens.
Dawson
It doesn't even look like real life, man. I love the seventies.
Adam Carolla
They would. Okay. They made first off. I know. How do you think they pitch this? Like someone just walked into ABC and just went kill Dozer. And someone. What's that? I don't fucking know. Figure it out. I gave you Killdozer. I'm done. I got. It's called Killdozer. Whatever. It's a bulldozer that's haunted.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Sponsored by John Deere.
Adam Carolla
John Deere sponsors this one for sure.
Jessie Mae Peluso
John Deere's a caterpillar.
Adam Carolla
John Deere. Someone's gonna get their name all over this killdozer.
Jessie Mae Peluso
We've got a new bulldozer. I need you to sell it.
Adam Carolla
Figure out a script who Else was in Killdozer.
Dawson
That's like a made for TV movie.
Adam Carolla
Somebody, Dawson. I'm telling you too. Somebody named their fucking punk band Killdozer.
Jessie Mae Peluso
That's cool.
Adam Carolla
In like 79.
Jessie Mae Peluso
That's a cool band name.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. So the movies of the week were insane. Absolutely insane. There was one called like Killer Hive or something. And it was an old actress had dominion over a swarm of bees.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yes.
Adam Carolla
And she was an old lady and she would have them do her bidding and kill people from bees because she could speak. She was like Aquaman with bees.
Dawson
I had ex girlfriend like that with crabs.
Adam Carolla
We have the Killdozer. Huh? Killing dudes. Is Bob Urich in Killdozer? That's all. That's all mess. He played Rocky Blier in the Rocky Blier story. That was the guy.
Dawson
You're going deep right now, ace.
Adam Carolla
Rocky Blier went to Vietnam like stepped on a landmine. Fucked his foot all up. Came back and they were like, your football playing career is over. Ends up overcoming it. Goes to the Steelers. Is in the backfield with Franco Harris. They win four Super Bowls. That's a piece of.
Dawson
That's amazing.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And I ran into like Rocky Blair. Like I was doing a show and he was over whatever. I'm like, what are you doing at the hotel? Motivational speaking. I'm like, fucking yes, you're doing motivational speaking. You went from dragged off the battlefield in Vietnam, you'll never walk again to four fucking Super Bowls in the backfield with Chuck Noll and. And Franco Hairs. Okay. That's fairly inspirational. I would assume Kill. Those are. Oh, Bob Yerik is in Kill Dozer. Yeah.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Also Clinton Walker.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Carl Betts, Neville Brand, James Wainwright and James A. Watson.
Adam Carolla
Mm. So Watson. So he was also in. Bob York was also in. Oh, God. What was the. What was the detective thing where he lived in Philadelphia. You should know, Andrew. He lived in Philadelphia or something. Hacks. So, God, what was it? Oh, God. He had another. He worked. He's just a TV guy. He did features. He was really good looking and really nice and he just worked like he was just so good looking and he didn't. What was Robert Urich's. What was his detective series that was after Vegas, which was like just a name. Oh, Spencer for hire. Sorry. Spencer for hire was another. Another. Another one. All right, we got Killdozer. Just so you guys know what you're missing. You're so lucky you weren't born.
Jessie Mae Peluso
I want to watch this. I want to like smoke a fatty.
Dawson
You should. Seems like it. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And it's always some weird thing where they're on a construction site but they can't get off.
Dawson
Here comes Killdozer.
Jessie Mae Peluso
He's right behind. He doesn't even see this happening.
Adam Carolla
No one can hear hydraulics in the middle of the night when they're three inches behind you.
Dawson
Second hand smoke.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. There's no way in the still of the night the guy would hear hydraulics. They made a movie called Killdozer. They made a movie called Killdozer and there's a band called Killdozer.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Do you remember like those movies they used to do like ants and it would just be giant ants on the screen and they would film like that.
Adam Carolla
Oh, they'd show a film at ant and then blow it up.
Jessie Mae Peluso
Yeah, and blow it up. And the horror movie was ants taking over the town.
Adam Carolla
There was a movie was called them, but they were like animatronic ants. All right, Manny Pacquiao is waiting. I'm gonna bid adieu to Jessie Mayhem. I'll give you some.

Adam Carolla
Manny Pacquiao is on the show. He's got a fight coming up that'll be this Saturday. That'll be in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden arena in Las Vegas. It's pay per view as well. And you can check out the event on Prime Video, which begins at 8pm Eastern or 5 Pacific time. Manny's first fight in four years, I do believe. Is that correct?
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah, in four years. But I do an exhibition about before this.
Adam Carolla
How do you feel at 46 versus 36? Is there any difference? Do you feel any different? Is recovery a little harder?
Manny Pacquiao
Recovery is a little bit slow. Compare when you're young, like, you know, you're 35. 30. But we, we adjust a little bit. Like, you know, when you post your body as a heavy, hard work, heavy training in the day. Sometimes we have, I have to rest for one session day like or gym or jogging. But the good, like the intensity of training still there. I do 30 rounds, 28 rounds a day.
Adam Carolla
28 rounds a day.
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Is that sparring or is that focus pads or what does that mean?
Manny Pacquiao
Including sparring? Sparring, punishment, heavy bug and punching ball, spit bug, skipping rope.
Adam Carolla
Aha. So you're on the clock. You're on the round clock. The buzzer goes off every three minutes. You do a minute in between.
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
And so what you do is 28 to 30 rounds a day. And a round could be on the heavy bag, a round could be on the speed bag, a round could be sparring, a round could be hitting focus pads, round could be skipping rope maybe.
Manny Pacquiao
Yes.
Adam Carolla
But whatever that is, it's 28 to 30, which is essentially three times 30. So it's like 90 minutes of movement and the other bell sounds and there's a minute off in between.
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah, that's a total over on training every day.
Adam Carolla
And how's Freddie doing? Freddie's still training you, right?
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah, Freddie's good.
Adam Carolla
And how's his Parkinson's doing?
Manny Pacquiao
It's good. He has a medicine to take every day.
Adam Carolla
And he's doing good.
Manny Pacquiao
He's doing good. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
I'm glad to hear that. I'm glad to hear he's still training you. And I'm glad to hear he's doing well because I've always liked Freddie Roach. His story's interesting. I mean, he's been with you for, I don't know, 28 years.
Manny Pacquiao
24 years.
Adam Carolla
How many years?
Manny Pacquiao
24 years.
Adam Carolla
24 years. How did you get hooked up with Freddie Roach back in the day?
Manny Pacquiao
Oh, they just. We just show up to his gym, and then my manager asked him if Ask was the owner of the gym, and then he represented. And. And then my manager asked him about, you know, if he can do a couple round of meets to my. To me. And that's the beginning of our relationship.
Adam Carolla
How important is it to work with a guy doing those focus gloves? Because, you know, if you have a guy who's never held them for you and he tries to hold them for you, you just. You don't look that good. You don't feel that good. You know, you have to establish a rhythm with somebody, right?
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah. But when we do the first time we do doing meets, like, you know, I like the way. The way he do the doing meets, and then he. He likes my. My style also. The power and the speed, footwork, everything like that. All he want to see a box in a. In a boxer.
Adam Carolla
Are you in the Philippines full time now, mostly when you're not out here fighting?
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah, just back and forth because my son is studying here.
Adam Carolla
Are you in the government in the Philippines?
Manny Pacquiao
Not anymore.
Adam Carolla
But you were, right?
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah, used to.
Adam Carolla
You were senator. Is that.
Manny Pacquiao
I used to. I was a congressman. And then after that, senator.
Adam Carolla
And you're not anymore just because you're done doing it, or were you disillusioned or is there a problem or what's that? Like, do you want to run for president?
Manny Pacquiao
I ran for president, but I lost. But politics is so, like, dirty.
Adam Carolla
Is it dirty there? I mean, I guess it's dirty everywhere. Right. So no more. No more politics for Manny Pacquiao.
Manny Pacquiao
No more politics. I want to focus my. My career now as a boxer.
Adam Carolla
Well, how much longer would you like to box?
Manny Pacquiao
Hard to Say like, you know, I cannot say more years, many years or couple years. I don't, I cannot say that one at a time. What I'm planning is. My plan is one at a time. And I always pray to God that he will guide me and protect me and give me strength.
Adam Carolla
Well, you grew up extremely poor, right?
Manny Pacquiao
Yes.
Adam Carolla
So I want to get into that because I'm curious. I know your story to some degree. But see a lot of boxers, they grew up poor and then they got rich and then they didn't want to box anymore because boxing's hard and it hurts and it takes a lot of mental and physical stamina and they box to make money, to get rich. And now they got rich. They don't train as hard and they don't really want a box. So being rich and being successful and not being poor anymore, it's interesting that you still want to box. So is it just a competitive nature in you or is it just a pure love of boxing? Like some people might have a love of music or comedy or some other art form.
Manny Pacquiao
I think it's mix that I. I love competitor and also boxing is my passion and I love this sport. I grew up in boxing, so I'm competitor and I also. Boxing is my passion. Really my passion.
Adam Carolla
So how did you grow up?
Manny Pacquiao
You know, we. When. When I was young, like I entered the boxing because I want to help my mother. Like we, We. We don't have nothing. Like we.
Adam Carolla
We.
Manny Pacquiao
Can hardly even eat like in twice a day. We don't have money to buy food. That's. That's our situation. When, When I start boxing and that time I don't have an idea what is boxing. But since. Since there's a prize money, like win or lose, there's a prize money. So I participate myself in an event, in a fight and just to earn money to buy food.
Adam Carolla
Was your dad around?
Manny Pacquiao
No. When we were young, my dad and my mom was separated already. So livingly we. We struggle in life. Like sometimes we experience like. Like I said, my story, my life story is like we experience that we don't have food to eat in a day and we just drink water to survive. That's our, that's our situation. And, and that's why when I became a champion, I always. My dream in life is to help those who are in needs, those families that less fortunate and good thing that God blessed me and I able to help thousands of families, more than thousand families in the Philippines to give a shelter and sustainable livelihood.
Adam Carolla
That's admirable. Did Your dad ever come back to the family or come. Come back and get in contact with you later on or did he stay around and sort of. Was he involved with your life growing up?
Manny Pacquiao
When I became a champion, became known in the Philippines and of course became a world champion, I. I looking for my dad and I found him living in. In a mountain mountain with his family. And I told him that if he could come down and I will, I will buy him like house. House in Lal. And just to live near us in the same city. But they're not together with my mom. I just want. I just want him to. I just want to help my father and all my siblings, my. My parents.
Adam Carolla
And did he do that? Did you do that?
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah, they did that. And they lived their house in the mountain and then I brought them car. They like that. And, And I able to help those. My family, my father, my mother, and also my siblings.
Adam Carolla
What'd your dad do living in a house in the mountains? Did he work? Did he farm? What did he do up there?
Manny Pacquiao
A farm. A farm. Poor also, like, you know, nothing.
Adam Carolla
What's the difference between Filipino poor and American poor? Cause, you know, we're poor here, but our poor people are fat and they have cell phones and they're not really what you think of as poor when you think real desperate poor. But in the Philippines, what's it like to be real poor in the Philippines?
Manny Pacquiao
Like when you poor, you don't have money to eat, no clothes, no. No shelter. It's like it's nothing.
Adam Carolla
And there's no safety net, there's no government, snap, you know, food stamps, welfare.
Manny Pacquiao
No, no, no, not like here because there's, there's a food government give to. But in the Philippines, there's no regular food for the less fortunate people like poor who sleeping in the street.
Adam Carolla
What? So you grew up, your dad leaves when you're young.
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And you don't have any more contacts with him? He leaves.
Manny Pacquiao
No, I don't have this that time. No cell phone?
Adam Carolla
No, there's nothing. So he leaves. You don't. You don't see him again until you're world champion.
Manny Pacquiao
Yes, that's right.
Adam Carolla
And he. Did he know you're world champion? I mean, he did he know that's what everyone was talking about when you came back?
Manny Pacquiao
I don't, I don't think so. Because he lives in the mountains. No, no cell phone, no signal.
Adam Carolla
So he would. He. You just literally knocked on his door and sort of told him you're world champion.
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah, it's. And no later on, he found that I became manipakia, like our champion. And I told him that we have enough money to buy house, to buy car. I told him like that.
Adam Carolla

And so you turn pro. And now what? Where's your first fight? You're in the Philippines, right?
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah, in the Philippines. I turned pro because I'm not lucky to be part of the Philippine team in a mature to participate in Olympics. I was, I was inquiring like you know, introduce myself, introducing myself like to be part of of the Philippine team but they rejected me like I know.
Adam Carolla
So then once you for the Filipino Olympic team.
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah. That's my dream before. But the thing is, it's all the politics. There's like politics, really.
Adam Carolla
So. All right, so you, you turn pro because you can't get on the Olympic team?
Manny Pacquiao
Yes, that's the reason.
Adam Carolla
And I'm guessing you win your first pro fight.
Manny Pacquiao
Yes, I won my first fight. Like.
Adam Carolla
And how many fights do you win in a row at the beginning? Oh.
Manny Pacquiao
I won like 11. 11 professional straight.
Adam Carolla
And then you had your first loss.
Manny Pacquiao
Yes.
Adam Carolla
And then you went on another winning streak, I'm guessing.
Manny Pacquiao
And after that? Oh, keep on all winning.
Adam Carolla
All winning, yes. And at what point do you move out to the. To United States to train?
Manny Pacquiao
First time when I came here, you know, my. I don't have a plan to fight. Like, we just came here for, for a vacation with my manager.
Adam Carolla
Oh, okay.
Manny Pacquiao
But it happened that when we look for a gym and in wild card, it happened that there's a big fight in Las Vegas that was way back June. June 23, 2001 against Oscar La Jolla and Castelijo. And the other card is Lino Halono Lidwaba versus the number one contender. But the thing is, two weeks before the fight, the. The challenger. The challenger was. Got endured injured on his eyes. He got caught in his eyes so he cannot fight. So they're looking for a substitute. They're looking for a substitute and they, they call the number two contender. But the number two is. Cannot make it the weight because it's two weeks notice. So what happened is I was there and at the Wildcard Gym and they asked me, oh, are you willing to fight for two weeks before? Two weeks now from now? And it happened that I'm in shape because when we came here, I just finished my fight in the Philippines. So good timing.
Adam Carolla
So you're in shape. What was your record at that time?
Manny Pacquiao
Oh, my record at that time, I only have two loss.
Adam Carolla
How many wins?
Manny Pacquiao
More than 30.
Adam Carolla
More than 30. So you come here for a vacation with your manager, but first guy gets cut, second guy can't make weight. You're in good shape because you're just out of camp. Not that long for your last fight. And I guess the fight was okay. You didn't get beat up too much or cut or anything in the fight?
Manny Pacquiao
No.
Adam Carolla
And now you're at the wild card Gin. And they're talking about this fight going off in Vegas in two weeks?
Manny Pacquiao
Yes, yes, in two weeks.
Adam Carolla
And so you figure while hang out and train with Freddie Roach here.
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah. And Freder, he told us that, you know, he's Very confident that I'm gonna win the fight.
Adam Carolla
Because he's watched you train and he's probably watched film and that kind of stuff with you.
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah, he watched me, he watched me training Wild Card at that time. At that time, and he saw me that I'm in shape, and then I can, I can, I can move around like that. So.
Adam Carolla
So.
Manny Pacquiao
It'S good. I only, like, sparred three times before the fight.
Adam Carolla
And I'm guessing you won the fight.
Manny Pacquiao
I won the fight by knockout.
Adam Carolla
What round?
Manny Pacquiao
Six rounds.
Adam Carolla
So now you're the champ of this division?
Manny Pacquiao
Yes, the 122 pounds. So for super bantamweight. But I used, I, I, I, I used to be a world champion when I came here. Like, you know, I'm a former world champion when I came here, a flyweight champion.
Adam Carolla
What's the, what's the weight of flyweight versus super bantam?
Manny Pacquiao
112. And super bantam is 120 to.
Adam Carolla
Oh, man. Did you have trouble making the 112 white?
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah, I, I cannot make it 112 anymore. So I move it. I, I actually, I skip 115 and 118. I move directly to 122. I skipped two division.
Adam Carolla
Right. Bantamweight and flyweight or I don't know which one.
Manny Pacquiao
I skipped 115 and 118. I move, I directly move to, to 122.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but what do they call 115 and 118?
Manny Pacquiao
115 is a super flyweight or junior bantamweight. And then bantamweight is 118 and super bantamweight is 122.
Adam Carolla
That's so funny. They have a division every three and a half pounds. And so now you win, do you go back to the Philippines or you just stay here now with Freddie?
Manny Pacquiao
Back to the Philippines, and they got, you know, heroes will come there. Filipinos are celebrating for the victory because before I, I came here, I, I'm really popular in the Philippines because of. I am superstar in a one, in a show there. Blow by blow boxing.
Adam Carolla
Oh, in a show. Yeah. Well, you know, I'm always grateful to Manny Pacquiao because one time, a long time ago, I made fun of the Philippines and I got more death threats. I make fun of everybody all the time. But when I made fun of the Philippines, I got a ton of death threats. And Jon Stewart, you know, you know, the comedian Jon Stewart, he called me and he said, do not fuck around with those Filipinos. And I said, I didn't know. I've messed Around. I've screwed with everybody all the time, and no one says anything. He goes, not the Filipinos, man. He said. He said something about Filipinos and got into trouble too. And Manny was nice enough to announce to the Filipino people, do not kill Adam Carolla. And I'm always very thankful you did that. But I thought it was funny that Jon Stewart said the exact same thing. He just goes, don't mess with the Filipinos.
Manny Pacquiao
No Filipinos, they're nice person, nice people. In fact, we practice hospitality. Caring each other like that.
Adam Carolla
I get it. But there's something. There's a pride. Perhaps we'll just call it a pride that other cultures. Cause like I said, I've been around. I've made fun of every culture. But the Filipinos I heard from, and Jon Stewart did too. So there's something. But they're very proud of Manny. But, you know, in a weird way, you know, America has so much going on that we just can't. We can't have one national hero here, really, because there's too many genres, there's too many sports. There's too much going on. But you can be essentially, Manny Pacquiao can be sort of the king of the Philippines. Right? Well, who's the second most popular Filipino person that I would have heard of in the United States?
Manny Pacquiao
I don't know.
Adam Carolla
That's great. That's the answer. Nobody. Nobody we've heard of. You're the most popular Filipino on the planet.
Manny Pacquiao
Thank you, Adam.
Adam Carolla
That's true. How many Filipinos are there? What's the population?
Manny Pacquiao
Our population is 120,000. 120 million?
Adam Carolla
Yeah. So that's not small. I mean, that's a big populace. Good for you. You're the most famous.
Manny Pacquiao
It's 7,000. More than 7,000 islands.
Adam Carolla
Oh, God, is it that many? Wow. And you'd be the most popular person on every island. So what are the odds makers saying about this fight? I know you're fighting Mario. Is it Barois or Bararos?
Manny Pacquiao
Barrios.
Adam Carolla
Barrios. Barrios. Sorry. He's 29. Two and one. You're 62. Eight and two. What are the odds makers saying about this? Or do you care or do you check?
Manny Pacquiao
Actually, I don't. I didn't care. The ads. I don't. I'm not looking for the ads. Like his favor favorite. But I'm underdog because I think it's because of my four years layoff of boxing. That's what happened.
Adam Carolla
Did you. Do you study the film and is there anybody you've ever Studied the film on where you think, oh, man, man, this guy's really good film. Like, boxing film. Like, when you watch boxing film of Juan Manuel or Miguel Cotto or something like that. Like, is there anybody where you've watched a film and you've went, this guy seems really good?
Manny Pacquiao
I did not.
Adam Carolla
No, you've never been, you never been nervous or scared or thought, oh, this guy's really, really good fighter?
Manny Pacquiao
No, I, I don't feel, I'm excited for the fight.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but I mean, in all the fights you've had, or can you ever tell, like, do you ever. Can you ever tell, like, when you're just having a bad night? Like, when you get out there and you go, man, I'm just not feeling the speed or I' feeling, feeling it tonight.
Manny Pacquiao
I, I, I have, I have one fight, like, I get the, the Morales three. Morales fight. Morales three fight. The third one, like, at the dressing room. Like, I feel, like, cold in, like, my body is hot, but I feel cold. Like there's a fever in my body. So it's hard for me to. I'm worried about what I'm gonna do because, you know, I'm shaking. Like, you know when you get sick.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, like a fever. Now, do you. So you were sick for that fight?
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah, before. Before the fight, like in the, at the dressing room.
Adam Carolla
Oh, and you just fought anyway?
Manny Pacquiao
I just focus the people. It's already there.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Did you lose that fight?
Manny Pacquiao
I won the fight by knockout.
Adam Carolla
Oh, well, good. God bless the fight. By the way, it's coming up this Saturday. It's on Prime Video pay per view, but I don't know. You can go down there if you're in Vegas. I don't know if there's tickets available. It's at the MGM Grand Garden arena in Las Vegas, and tickets are available@axs.com so if you win, you're going to keep fighting. If you lose, you're going to keep fighting.
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah, as long as I'm active, I'm back. So probably.
Adam Carolla
What are you fighting at? What weight is this fight going off at?
Manny Pacquiao
147. That's welterweight.
Adam Carolla
147. Is it easy to make weight? Is it tough to make weight? What do you walk around at?
Manny Pacquiao
Yeah, easy to make weight because I'm actually that weight category. That division is, like, bigger than my size because my normal weight is 140 pounds, but I'm fighting 147.
Adam Carolla
Is it. They always say, you know, the heavyweights, it's a little easier. Like George foreman and guys that can fight a little longer because it's not so much about speed. It's sort of about strength or power or something, something like that. I don't know how you feel about, about lighter weights versus heavier weights and fighting, you know, in your 40s.
Manny Pacquiao
It'S. That's different. The heavyweight is they're big, like, you know, crosser weights. Big in our category, like welterweight also, that's big, but, you know, good for.
Adam Carolla
Our size and you don't feel well. Like I said, I just think it's probably an advantage for big guys that can fight a little bit longer usually than smaller guys just because they don't rely on speed as much perhaps. Again, fights coming up this Saturday. Tickets available@axs.com Manny I want to thank you. Jon Stewart would like to thank you. Always rooting for you, brother. And it's always great to talk to you.

The Adam Carolla Show: Episode Summary
Title: Manny Pacquiao Previews His Comeback Fight + Decoding Erewhon with Jessimae Peluso
Release Date: July 16, 2025
In this engaging episode of The Adam Carolla Show, host Adam Carolla welcomes two standout guests: comedian Jessie Mae Peluso and international boxing legend Manny Pacquiao. The episode promises a blend of sharp humor, insightful discussions, and a deep dive into Pacquiao’s upcoming comeback fight.
Adam Carolla [00:00]: "Well, in this episode, comedian Jessie Mae Peluso comes back in studio. Manny Pacquiao joins us to talk about fighting and of course, his upbringing and death threats on me from Filipinos. News with mayhem. We'll do all that right after this."
Jessie Mae Peluso and Adam explore the phenomenon of Erewhon, a high-end grocery store known for its exorbitantly priced health products. They humorously dissect the absurdity of items like Hailey Bieber's $75 "Strawberry Glazed Skin Smoothie," highlighting the quirky ingredients and inflated prices.
Jessie Mae Peluso [15:49]: "It's Haley Bieber's strawberry Glazed skin smoothie."
Adam Carolla [15:57]: "Organic strawberries, bananas, avocado, the blood of children, dates, maple syrup, collagen peptides, and… Don’t forget the adrenochrome."
Their banter underscores a satirical critique of modern health trends and consumerism, emphasizing how marketing has transformed basic groceries into overpriced gourmet items.
A significant portion of the conversation delves into the demographics of Malibu's construction workforce. Adam expresses frustration over the lack of Black workers in an industry he perceives as overwhelmingly Hispanic.
Adam Carolla [05:27]: "There's no black person working in all of Malibu. It is 100% Hispanic all the time."
This observation leads to an earnest discussion on the importance of vocational training and creating opportunities for inner-city youth to enter trades, potentially addressing unemployment and fostering diversity within the construction sector.
Adam Carolla [06:28]: "We should be going down to the inner city. We should be teaching trades to these people."
The episode takes a contemplative turn as Adam and Jessie Mae address the complexities of humor surrounding sensitive topics like rape. They recount personal anecdotes, including Adam’s attempts at rape-related jokes and the varying reactions they elicited, particularly from his longtime collaborator Dr. Drew.
Adam Carolla [34:55]: "The other rape joke was. Now you have to understand, you're not old enough. And you're not old enough..."
Adam Carolla [36:07]: "I have two jokes involving rape."
This segment highlights the fine line comedians walk when addressing serious issues, balancing humor with respect and the potential for controversy.
Adam and Jessie Mae indulge in nostalgic conversations about vintage TV shows and movies, such as "Hack," "The Love Boat," and the cult classic "Kill Dozer." Their playful critique and reminiscence shed light on how pop culture has evolved over the decades.
Jessie Mae Peluso [66:35]: "It's a great premise. I'm sold."
Through these discussions, the duo humorously analyzes the often outlandish plots and production styles of bygone entertainment, juxtaposing them with today’s standards.
The heart of the episode features an in-depth interview with Manny Pacquiao, who shares insights into his preparation for a highly anticipated comeback fight after a four-year hiatus. The conversation covers his rigorous training regimen, the challenges of aging in a physically demanding sport, and his unwavering passion for boxing.
Adam Carolla [77:33]: "You were senator. Is that...?"
Adam Carolla [83:01]: "So you, you turn pro because you can't get on the Olympic team?"
Adam Carolla [105:12]: "You're the most popular Filipino on the planet."
Pacquiao recounts his journey from humble beginnings in the Philippines, motivated by the desire to support his struggling family, to achieving international fame and success in boxing. He emphasizes his commitment to remaining active in the sport, driven by both competitive spirit and genuine love for the art of boxing.
Manny Pacquiao [84:24]: "I think it's a mix that I. I love competitor and also boxing is my passion and I love this sport. I grew up in boxing, so I'm a competitor and I also. Boxing is my passion. Really my passion."
The interview also touches on Pacquiao’s relationship with his trainer Freddie Roach, his experiences with political aspirations, and his philanthropic efforts to aid underprivileged families in the Philippines.
As the episode wraps up, Adam announces his upcoming shows in Portland and Milwaukee, encourages listeners to attend Jessie Mae Peluso’s live performances, and reiterates information about Pacquiao’s fight scheduled at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Adam Carolla [112:08]: "Manny Pacquiao is on the show. He's got a fight coming up that'll be this Saturday. That'll be in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden arena in Las Vegas. It's pay per view as well. And you can check out the event on Prime Video, which begins at 8pm Eastern or 5 Pacific time."
Listeners are left with a blend of humor, heartfelt stories, and anticipation for Manny Pacquiao’s return to the ring, embodying the show's signature mix of comedy and meaningful conversation.
